Alaa Abd El-Fattah has been on hunger strike against his detention and prison conditions for the last six months, taking just 100 calories a day. Last week he escalated his hunger strike and stopped taking water to coincide with the start of the COP27 climate change summit.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the government was keeping"a very, very close eye" on his case.
"It's a case that the Foreign Office has raised over a number of years in support of him. The Egyptians do not recognise him as a British citizen," he said."We disagree with them on that and we have highlighted this disagreement to them at every level up to and including the prime minister in his discussions with President Sisi.
